Millarville 4-H Multi Club

Jams and Jellies
By: Staci Arkes
On September 11th the Millarville 4-H Multi Club got together for their first meeting. Our theme for this meeting was a surprise. Our leaders didn't tell us anything but to bring Sugar and Canning Jars. When we got to the meeting we were told we were going to be making Jams and Jellies.
We had so much fun making our sweet treats and eating them, too. We made Strawberry Banana Freezer Jam, Strawberry Pineapple Jam, Peach Jam, Pomegranate Jelly, Cranberry Tangerine Spread and White Chocolate Raspberry Spread.
Our next meeting will be Halloween and everyone gets to dress up. I can't wait to see what kind of Spooky Recipes everyone comes up with.
Spooktacular Recipes

On October 16th we had our second 4-H meeting, with our Halloween theme. Several of us dressed up to celebrate and we cooked our “scary” recipes. We had a large variety of items like Pumpkin Loaf, Candied Apples, Halloween Halfling Meatloaf, Trick or Treat Ice Cream Sandwiches, Brain Cupcake Surprise, Halloween Punch (complete with floating hands) and Spooky Ice Cream Sundaes.
During our meeting we also went to work creating tie-dyed aprons for the new members – which is a 4-H tradition. We will wear these aprons at every meeting going forward.
We discussed several things at our last meeting including setting up our recipe boxes and making our Christmas party plans. We also held elections for executive members of the club. Jade Boucher is our President, Maddy Peters is Vice President, Kashley Meyer is Secretary, Katelyn Braun is Treasurer, Cameron McArthur and Sam Marchant are the Phone Committee and I (Katie Klotz) am the Club Reporter.
We also discussed our first public speaking item for year; we will need to have a theme and title figured out for next week.
Our next meeting is November 20th and our theme is What About the Other Meats? So, we need to come up with recipes that use meats like elk, moose, deer or antelope. We cannot use turkey, chicken, beef or pork.
